BAE Systems has won a five-year, full life-cycle support contract from the US Navy’s Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), the company announced on 25 January.
Under the contract, the company will provide full life-cycle engineering and technical support for communication and combat systems on board US Navy surface combatants and at associated shore sites.
The initial award is valued at $28.4 million with the total value of the five-year contract estimated at $146.7 million.
The contract will see BAE Systems integrate computers, communication systems, combat systems, and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems, both on the relevant vessels, and on-shore sites.
Clavister CyberArmour, an integrated defence cybersecurity system, will be used on BAE Systems Hägglunds’ CV90 platform in deployments with a Scandinavian country, as well as in an eastern European nation.
The tactical satellite (TacSat) is an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) system and will participate in exercises in 2025.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.

Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
